I couldn't get into this movie.

To a Marine we hold our uniform regulations seriously. To not follow those regulations in the movie is a distraction from the story being told. Maybe the franchise should use senior enlisted marine veterans as the military advisors.

Actually not as bad as the current rating would suggest

If you are a war movie fan this one will not disappoint. I have to laugh at all these reviews criticising the weapons or army stripes not being accurate - guys let me elucidate for you; your average viewer would not know a sergeant stripe from an a-wipe you have to laugh at these reviews.... really???? - ITS ONLY A MOVIE! Who watches a movie and looks out for things like that is bizarre! I watch a movie to be immersed int he plot and story not to see if sergeant Maloney has the correct trigger on his AK-47 or how tight his army troosers are cmon, to rate a movie on this is nonsense and IMDB should remove these reviews as they are just plain fatuous!Well what do we get for our shillings - Oodles of action, some decent cgi blood splatters and explosions but some terrible dialogue which made me cringe at times. It actually has a pretty decent cast and the acting was good which makes up another Jarhead movie;and as good as Jarhead 2 in my opinion.The music though is rather Jarring (pardon the pun) and too loud for the soundtrack and it is clear they were trying in the later stages to go for a Black Hawk Down style ethnic Israeli music backtrack to accompany the action which was better than the overbearing rap and rock & roll in the first half.All in all its actually an above average terrorist war movie so if you are a war movie fanatic like me give it a try as it will not disappoint so gets a fair 6/10 from me.

Great movie but what was with the USMC

I really enjoyed the movie from an entertainment perspective but as a former Marine, I almost screamed out loud a few times.First, whoever produced the movie needed a Marine on set and in the writer's room. A Marine wouldn't refer to his team as "soldiers." Second, generals do NOT wear stripes on their upper arms. There is a FOUR star General wearing Gunny stripes. Third, .50 caliber rounds from an M2 machine gun do NOT leave little holes in a head when shot. Fourth, if you have a machine gun or three AND a grenade launcher, you should use them in combat.Aside from the above though, I really liked the movie. Good story. It shows sacrifice for mission. All in all, I would want it again, AND I would NOT have walked out of a movie theater pissed if I had paid to see this.
